In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Whoever hateth his brother, is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

By this we perceive the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren.

And whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

And this is his commandment; That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

In this was manifested the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

If a man sayeth, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God, love his brother also.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God which he hath testified of his Son.
